1. Freight Rate Volatility to be highlighted at the 2013 TPM Conference.
NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week Asia to Europe
spot container rates soared 35% in a single week. Asia to Mediterranean
rates were up 66% last week, while trans-Pacific rates climbed as well.
In October, rates surged by roughly the same amount only to give up all
of those gains in subsequent weeks. As Alphaliner analyst Hua Joo Tan
told TPM (1) See TP monitor.
(2) (Transactions Per Minute) The number of transactions processed within one minute. See TPS.
(3) (Trusted Platform M Asia in October, "2012 has been the most volatile in the
industry's history as far as the rates are concerned," while
SeaIntel said this week that "for all seven major deep-sea trades
out of Asia, the market is becoming increasingly erratic. This poses a
significant challenge for carriers and shippers alike."
The increasing volatility of ocean container freight rates will be a
key topic discussed at the 2013 TPM conference on March 3-6 in Long
Beach. One of the largest container shipping and logistics conferences
in the world, TPM is a key annual gathering for major shippers,
carriers, 3PLs, ports, railroads and other participants in the ocean
container supply chain.
Although container rates have long been volatile, many believe the
level of volatility now being witnessed in the major east-west markets
is unprecedented. It is the results of several factors, including
persistent overcapacity o·ver·ca·pac·i·ty
n.
Too great a capacity for production of commodities or delivery of services in relation to actual
need: the problem of overcapacity in many large industries. that is resulting in more frequent
additions and
withdrawals of tonnage from major trades as carriers constantly adjust
to maintain a balance of supply and demand.
Two sessions at the 2013 TPM will address this issue specifically.
The opening market session on the morning of Monday, March 4 will
feature Hua Joo Tan of Alphaliner, Hong Kong Hong Kong (hng kng), Mandarin Xianggang,

analyst Johnson Leung and JOC/PIERS economist Mario Moreno offering an
outlook of what 2013 looks like two months into the new year. The second

2. session will focus on index-linked contracts, a relatively new type of
service contract in which shippers and carriers tie rates to published
indices like the Shanghai Containerized con·tain·er·ize
v.tr. con·tain·er·ized, con·tain·er·iz·ing, con·tain·er·iz·es

the transmitting station that indicates it is ready to accept data. Contrast with RTS.

indices as a way to mitigate volatility. That session will be led by Ed
Sands, Logistics Global Practice Leader at Procurian and will feature
